You can review and edit the default style and name format settings for profiles and profile commands.
Settings are handled in a standard way throughout AutoCAD Civil 3D, and accessed in Toolspace on the Settings tab. Control settings at three levels: the drawing, the feature, and the command. For more information, see Understanding Civil 3D Settings.
On the Settings tab, use the Profile collection context menu to establish default settings for all profiles. At this level, you can either change profile-specific settings or override the drawing ambient settings.
Use the Profile Commands collection under the Profile collection to change settings for a specific command. At this level, you can either change settings for profile commands or override the settings at the profile feature level.
Overrides to the drawing ambient settings at the Profile collection level and the Profile Command collection level affect only the specified level. The drawing level settings are not changed. For more information, see The Commands Collection (Settings Tree).
This section describes only the default styles and name format settings for profile commands. It does not cover the drawing ambient settings, even though these settings are displayed in the Edit Feature Settings dialog box. For more information about the drawing ambient settings, see Specifying Drawing Settings.
For more information about profile view settings, see Profile View Settings.
